I Hate Carrots
It’s time again for our epic seasonal recipe collaboration and for this winter my friends Square Meal Round Table and What’s Annie Eating through me for a loop.ย I got the email and read the collaborative ingredient was the carrot.
Blah, yuck, boo.ย I hate it, my husband hates it and my dad also hates it.ย We are a very anti carrot family.ย I can only eat it when the flavor of the carrots are hidden in cakes (by the sour cream frosting) or roasted to the point of oblivion (and covered with sauce).

Turkish Yogurt Carrot Dip
Then I remembered one carrot dish that my Turkish BFFs’ (Hi Asli!!) mom would make when she would visit my friend.ย It was this amazing dip and it’s so good that I would balk at the thought that it was made with just carrots and yogurt.
It’s really that simple, but adding some cumin it with lots and lots and lots of garlic totally changed the flavor profile.

I put off making this recipe just because – carrots and I finally gathered up the courage to grate those carrots I had in the refrigerator for a few days.
Here it is in all it’s glory (I used purple carrots) and it’s amazing.

Everyone loved it and my mom said it tasted like pate… not what I was going for, but I’ll take it.ย My dad has been eating it everyday slathering it on toasted bread and my husband said it didn’t taste like carrots at all.ย Victory!!
